Scam, or Really Big Break?

Hey guys!

I recently received an email from a modeling agency by the name of GreyShade Agency regarding a fashion advert for KupiVip Russia. Not knowing if this was a scam or not, I replied back to them and received a more in-depth email giving me details on the date, time, pay for me, etc. They told me that I would be paid upwards of $7000 with $500 upfront; location would be that of a studio near MY location, meaning they would need my address (which makes me think this is a scam); time would be from 10 AM to 3 PM which seemed reasonable to me. They also told me that MUA and hair stylist would be provided, with money being given to me in order to pay these other artists.

Overall, this all seems very fishy to me. I'm very new to the fashion world, having only contacted and received an email from one agency regarding working with new models without any compensation.

All-in-all, its the choice of either working with a model from Social New York (agency I contacted and know is legit) or do this fashion advert shoot, since they fall on the same date.

Any help/advice you guys could give me is much appreciated. Also, I should add in that I contacted both KupiVip and the CEO of GreyShade Agency to try to confirm this, but have not heard back from them yet...
